false

non of those would be a first choice for sunny days. they are all gears towards lesser to not sunny days. But if i had to choose, the G30 is the better of the bunch for sunny days

how do you like those? I live in mn basically all there is overcast and night skiing. i just had a blue tint on my dragons for night and i still found them too dark. What about clear lenses anyone? how do they hold up on cloudyish days?

i love them for night. they are pretty crazy to look thru during the day, they make colors way more bright and vibrant. as for clear lense, i have some clear and i never really use them, HI yellow is much better for night. i think the light transmission difference between the two is only like 3% or so
